Understanding Colour Scripts

Colour scripts are very cool, they're basically a storyboard for each scene depicting the mood and tone of the scene through colour. Attached is an example by Lorelay Bove (http://lorelaybove.blogspot.com/), it's for the fairy tale 'Hansel and Gretel'. You can see the progression of colour throughout, as they get lost in the woods, they find the witches house, they face catastrophe as she tries to cook them in her oven, and then them finding their way home to their mother. This informs the film on how to look and what colours to use when the sets are made and scenes are lighted. This is something that I will be working on this week!
